Trump will not be giving testimony in N.Y. fraud trial

Posted by

Former President Donald Trump will no longer testify in a New York fraud trial, as his legal team has successfully persuaded a judge to drop the request for his testimony. The trial, which involves the Trump Organization and allegations of financial misconduct, has been highly anticipated, with many wondering if the former president would take the stand.

The decision not to have Trump testify comes after weeks of legal wrangling and back-and-forth between his legal team and the prosecutors. Trump’s lawyers argued that his testimony would be unnecessary and would only serve to distract from the actual issues at hand in the trial. They also pointed to the fact that Trump had already provided written answers to questions in a separate civil case, and that testimony from him would be redundant.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office, which is leading the prosecution, had initially sought Trump’s testimony as a crucial part of their case. They hoped to question him about his knowledge of the company’s financial dealings and any potential wrongdoing on his part. However, the judge ultimately sided with Trump’s legal team and ruled that his testimony was not necessary for the case.

This decision comes as a relief to Trump and his allies, who have been vocal in their opposition to the trial and the allegations against the former president. They have accused the prosecutors of conducting a politically motivated witch hunt, and have sought to discredit the investigation at every turn.

While the decision not to have Trump testify may be a win for his legal team, it does not necessarily signal the end of legal troubles for the former president. The New York fraud trial is just one of several legal battles looming over Trump and his business empire. In addition to the New York case, he is also facing investigations into his finances and tax returns in other jurisdictions.

For now, Trump can breathe a sigh of relief that he will not have to take the stand in the New York trial. However, the legal battles are far from over, and the former president will likely continue to face scrutiny and legal challenges in the months and years to come.

Dennis the Menace could have always exercised his 5th amendment right as most guilty people do that get on the stand to testify in a court of law.
